Iconoclast-wannabe! I rarely take things seriously because if I did, I would feel nothing but despair. Seriously.

THIS! Blue state governors should be implementing this now so taxpayers are not at risk. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I just realized that #Succession on HBO was actually about trump, not murdoch.

When people ask for "civility", what they are doing is controlling the conversation--what is allowed and not allowed in a discussion. Civility is NOT a virtue. #writingCommunity #writing

#EmiliaPerez --a better gangster movie than anything #Scorsese has done --a better musical movie than #Wicked (a very bad imitation of a good stage musical) --not perfect but very good movie. I've never been impressed with Zoe Saldana's acting, but she deserves the #Oscar in a complex part. #LGBT

In the #SNL50 celebration, it's important to remember that Lorne Michaels is a really mediocre producer who creates a mediocre show. The best comedy on SNL has been the silly stuff. The show won't allow jokes that have bite, and all the political "satires" are weak and toothless. #RetireLorne

"Captain America: Brave New World" was a lot better than I expected. While the direction and cinematography were not great, the acting, story, and battles were quite good. A little slow at first due to a pointless action set piece, but by the middle I was clapping and yelling. #MCU #reviews

💖 It takes everyone to defeat the bad guy. Buffy would have failed without the scoobies. ❌ Dystopia requires a cataclysmic event. No, dystopia happens gradually, gradually, then all at once.

I know there is #superhero #movie fatigue, but I also know that in 2000 years, these movies will be like what the Greek and Roman myths are to us. All I ask, support the good ones, ignore the bad ones. Don't reflexively reject all such movies, because they will explain us to future generations.

It's time to put the myth that "Democrats aren't doing anything" to rest. Facts: In Senate, there are 45 democratic senators. They have NO power to stop things, only delay them. This is the voters' fault. In House, R's have a 3 seat lead of D's. They can slow things down, but they can't stop things

What is hilarious but also very scary? All the #journalists who assume the courts will save the #US from a dictatorship. The #Trump will either ignore them, or he'll ask the fools at the #SupremeCourt to strike down all objections. The US is #doomed #WelcomeToDystopia

I think when I write, I'm crying out for conversation. I know I can be pompous and arrogant sometimes, so I'm looking for conversation to help me learn a better way. #writing #writingCommunity

I'm pleased to announce my first rejection. It was from Asimov's Science Fiction. I'll aim a bit more realistically on the next submission. #writing #writingCommunity #rejections

#ebooks #erearder #BuyingHelp #recommendations I'm looking for a new e-reader. I don't want to be locked into any one book ecosystem, so I would like something android-based.

I have all the tomorrows I can possibly imagine, until the day I don't. Why worry about it, then?

The first major American newspaper that publishes the headline "Fascism is Here", will earn a ton of my respect. The international press have already told the truth. #fixJournalism #journalists

I submitted my first short story today. I have high hopes and low expectations. I had started "perfecting" it about a week ago, which nearly destroyed it. Even still I doubt some choices, but I'm all in now. #writing #writingCommunity #submissions
